Option 4 : Neither 1 nor 2

The correct answer is Neither 1 nor 2.

ICC World Test Championship (2019–2021)

  • New Zealand beat India in the inaugural ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final to become the first World Test Champion. This is New Zealand's first ICC title in two decades.
  • The finalists were decided by the percentage of available points collected not by the number of matches they won. Hence, Statement 1 is not correct.
  • New Zealand has ranked ahead of England due to the percentage of points they collected not because of the match they won. Hence, Statement 2 is not correct.
  • A nine-team global tournament, the WTC is a two-year competition that sees an undisputed World Test champion crowned at the end of a league campaign and a showpiece decider.
  • There are nine teams in the competition: the defending champions New Zealand, India, Australia, England, Pakistan, South Africa, West Indies, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh.
  • In the 2019-2021 cycles, every Test series was worth 120 points, with those points divided equally across the matches.
  • The team would gain 24 points for winning a Test in a five-match series compared to 60 points for winning a Test in a two-match series.
  • All teams play the same amount of series, it was originally planned for the two teams that collected the most points at the end of the cycle to progress to the final.
  • With the COVID pandemic causing major changes to the Test program, it was decided that the percentage of available points collected would determine the standings.
